Has anyone used Xoom before?

Xoom.com
And if so, was it safe, secure, and how long have you been using them?

Just wondering!

 

I sent a paypal payment to a forum member who did some illustration work for me here this week using Xoom. He didn't have paypal, but had Xoom. It was easy to sign up with, transaction was processed and sent to him within 24 hours. There was nothing about it that gave my internal "detector" a reason to worry about it.

 

Yep, I use them frequently. Only positive experiences so far.

 

even i am a regular user pf xoom.. itz quick and safe

 

one more question! Can I add money to my account using my paypal account? If so how?

 

Yes, that's the beauty of Xoom.com , it allows you to pay via Paypal and US credit card.

Xoom is a remittance service like Western Union, you really do not have an account balance per se. You pay someone via Xoom, the money gets to the person via direct transfer to his bank account, courier or pick up.

 

I have to send money to Malaysia I think it was, without a problem.

 

Xoom is great, unlike Paypal.

 

One more questions. Since Xoom is a remittance service like Western Union, does this mean the person recieving the money has to have an account with Xoom as well or is not needed? Just wondering! Still trying to figure this one all out!

 

i used them back in 1998-99 when they were a free webhost

anyone remember those days?

 

You beat me to it Yeah they were pretty good before 11MB of space for free! I dont know about know in terms of sending money

Sender need to sign up and signing up for an account is free. Recipent don't.

 

Hey, No! The recipient does not need to sign up with xoom. Only the sender does.

 

Oops. got the wrong info. Sorry. The Sender needs to provide all the banking info of the recipent.
